Great podcast
A great podcast that's easy to listen to and helps me keep up on all local business and digital trends. Features a great tech panel as well.
Smart tech news curation
Love the curation of the tech news in the Tuesday tech panel. Smart take on what's happening in the tech world with a local slant.
In depth podcast
I really enjoy Business In Vancouver’s reporting and like how they are able to dive deep (but not too long) into the topics of the day. Great podcast for my commute to keep up to date with what’s happening.
